Ohio Votes Today

"Ohioans vote on whether to make it harder to amend state constitution

Ahead of a November vote on abortion rights, Republican lawmakers want voters to make it more difficult to amend the state constitution. The outcome will have tremendous implications for the fate of abortion rights in the state.

Ohio voters headed to the polls Tuesday to decide whether to make it harder to amend the state constitution in a special election that has tremendous implications for the fate of abortion rights in the state.

For more than a century, Ohio voters have been able to amend the state constitution with a simple majority. The measure up for a vote on Tuesday would change that threshold to 60 percent.

If voters approve the amendment, they will set a much higher bar for passing a constitutional amendment guaranteeing abortion rights that is scheduled for November. Because of those stakes, Tuesday’s election has become a proxy fight over abortion." WP

When you can't win, change the rules. That's the GQP way.
